COMPANY BACKGROUND

Quality Uptime Services is one of the nation’s leading independent UPS maintenance and UPS battery maintenance organization. We provide customized preventive UPS maintenance and emergency service programs for mission critical facilities nationwide. With over 8.2 million sq. ft. of raised floor under contract and a 97% customer retention rate, clients confidently engage QUS to maintain 100% uptime.

Quality Uptime’s former parent company was established in the early 1980s. Quality Uptime Services, then operating as DSA Mission Critical Services, was launched in 1998 as a division of its former parent, focusing primarily on UPS maintenance and UPS battery maintenance. Over the years, Quality Uptime built a nationwide direct-service force by following its clients from the Northeast to the West Coast.

Recognizing the opportunity for further growth and expansion, the Quality Uptime management team, together with a group of investors led by Seaport Capital, secured the capital required to build an unparalleled service organization by purchasing all of Quality Uptime’s assets in August 2013 from the former parent company. In April 2014, the official name was changed from DSA Mission Critical Services to Quality Uptime Services.

Quality Uptime Services made the decision to be laser-focused only on mission critical facilities. Our management team has built a business that intersects a carefully selected mix of services with the country’s best technician talent, allowing our clients to be totally confident that their expectations will be met or exceeded. Quality Uptime Services’ commitment to exceptional service and doing the right thing – always – and having the most talented people on project teams has led to a record of over 97% repeat business from hundreds of satisfied clients.

TESTIMONIALS

Casandra, I just wanted to take a moment to express how impressed we have been your battery install team. If it weren’t for their high level of efficiency and team work, we would not be able to complete a full 480 battery change out in one week’s time. They completed this week’s change outs a full day ahead of schedule, and we are thoroughly impressed and happy. We are also very happy with the ease of scheduling all these site visits and work, so thank you very much Casandra.

Digital Realty,

I wanted to take a minute to share with you my experience with the PM work you performed in late April. It was a very pleasant experience. Your professionalism, thoroughness and attention to detail was impressive. I am also pleased to note that you made numerous observations about current conditions and made recommendations for prompt attention. I have a strong comfort with you as our assigned technician going forward. I made the decision to move to Quality Uptime and after our first PM, I am hopeful it was the right decision.

CBRE,

This was our first experience with Quality Uptime. The FSE was knowledgeable, and we were impressed with the level of attention and service we received.

PROVISION DATA,

Please pass along my praise in regards to Ken for his dedication to the task at hand. Along with his easygoing and friendly demeanor, Ken is and always has been a valuable asset to our preventative-maintenance process. Thank you and thank Ken for the job well done.

Digital Realty,

Dan is one of the reasons I continue to have Quality Uptime to do my maintenance. I can trust Dan to take care of my equipment and let me know when something needs to be addressed. Quality Uptime should be proud of Dan for his commitment to service.

CITIGROUP,

Both FSEs performed their work beyond expectation. Their professionalism was such that with everything else we had going on at our facility, I was able to ‘turn them loose’ so they could do their work with little to no supervision.
